I love a carby breakfast baked good, and Claire’s got one for us that you can actually feel pretty good about eating. Her Seedy Maple Breakfast Muffins are full of healthy ingredients like whole-wheat flour, greek yogurt, coconut oil, ground flax and blueberries. This is a really simple recipe to mix up, and you just......
I have a tradition every October to celebrate Fall/my Birthday month with a trip to Starbucks for a Chai Latté and a Pumpkin Scone. In a tragic twist this year, I totally missed it! I guess the month got away from me with my travels and when I finally showed up, the pumpkin scones were......
Here’s another recipe from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking that I’ve never made before! This is a pretty straightforward muffin recipe, with a couple of extra steps involved to zest/juice an orange and grind some almonds in the food processor. I ended up being really surprised by these; they’re super fresh and light for summer.......
I did not have my act together when it came to PUMPKIN SZN this year. I was busy, and not organized, and then it seemed like all of a sudden Christmas Cookie planning time was here, and pumpkin had to step out of the way! I did crack open a can to make a Pumpkin Pie at......
Apple picking was the last thing on my mind this September due to the sauna-like weather we were having around here. When I finally got it together to check the Chudleigh’s schedule last week, I learned that Honeycrisp season is long gone (those are my favourite variety), but Fuji, Mutsu and Ambrosia were still available......
I know there’s no topic more boring than the weather, but it’s really messing up my baking vibes this Fall. This should be the time of year where crisp, cool breezes are coming through my open windows, a pumpkin-scented candle is burning, and I’m happily in the kitchen baking the the day away. Instead, the......
Today the rest of the BSM crew is making Chinese Five Spice Scones for Chinese New Year. I actually bought the five-spice powder and sesame seeds last week, but just wasn’t feeling it. Five-spice powder is no joke: cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise and pepper. It’s STRONG. I’m not the biggest fan of cloves, and I......
When Danielle and I went to Atlanta last year, one of the places we went for brunch was Highland Bakery. It was actually my least favourite meal of the weekend, but it was saved by one special thing. We bought little mini sweet potato scones from the bakery case up front to snack on while......
I’m a little behind, as the Baked Sunday Morning crew made these muffins two weeks ago. Two things though: a) that was Thanksgiving up here in Canada and I was baked out b) there was no way I was tackling today’s recipe. Not that I have anything against Baked Alaska, it’s just a fairly long......
Hooray! It’s pumpkin time! I feel like I showed excellent restraint in waiting until October to crack open my first can of pumpkin. Last year I was away for a lot of October, so I didn’t really make a dent into my Pumpkin Pinterest board, so I’m making up for lost time now. The first......
